These are my top 7 boot brands right now in 2023.

Nick's Handmade Boots is hands down number 1.

Thrifted a pair of Tecovas, Suede Shane, for $19.99, barely worn. They were the hardest boot I ever tried to put on, but once my foot was in there, (and yes they are my exact size), they were the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. Hardest boot to get on, but the most comfortable I've ever worn. Lately, I have been eyeballing The Roy, suede side zip boot. I think they would be a lot easier to get on my foot. As long as they are as comfortable as The Shane...I think I would be greatly satisfied. Great boots.

Nick’s is #1 right now for me. I love Nick’s, Viberg, and White’s bounty hunters. But Nicks HNW in E width with all the MTO options is the best overall boot I’ve tried.

I love how boot snobs rag on Thursday, but when you ask them to come up with a comparable alternative for 2 Benjamins, there's crickets. Yeah, they're not perfect, but for the price they're the only game in town for GYW boots with the quality of leather they use.

Exactly the kind of video I was looking for, definitely will check out all the products later

Thanks for not making this an unnecessary 10min video

I choose Whote’s and Nick’s over Wesco. Hand stitched stitchdown construction is old school lost art still employed by some of White’s.

Agree w/Grant Stone being good value for $$ and the Truman being a high quality product for those who’s budget cannot afford the Nick’s & White’s

Can’t agree more; my Iron Rangers get all the wear they can when the path gets tough.

And I’m really itching for a pair of Grant Stones 😢

[zenerone]

Whites and Truman boots are the best boots made, hands down 🙌 Jim Green boots are the most functional and comfortable for your $$$. Red wings are too painful but rewarding if you don’t mind the brutal break-in. Wolverine 1000 mile boots with the Horween leathers are great as well.

Beckett simonon Williamson with the combat boot souls! Never worn anything more comfortable and they look badass.

[Venelll]

Own two Thursdays their captain and the casa moto, they are so nice.

As someone who wears boots for work and not fashion, Thursday and its basic Moc Toe is king and all the boot most will ever need / want

[nhssn]

When I walked into a Redwing store they straight out told me “we only make boots for workers.” Didn’t want to sell average consumers boots. 🤷‍♂️

I've had my Iron Rangers for close to three years now. Don't work construction but in a butcher shop getting blood, guts, and chemicals on them all day and I do some hiking as well. With consistent conditioning the leather looks even better now than when I got them. Highly recommended...

Tbh, Thursday Chukka Boots are the best and affordable boots you can have so far. I bought my Thursday Scout in 2021 and wear them to work daily and they developed beautiful patina over time. My second recommendation will be Oak Street Boots. I just bought 1 pair this Thanksgiving and they are marvelous in quality and design. I think my next brand would be Grant Stone. 😂

Finally, some recognition for truman. Love my shrunken bison boots from them

[scottlalonde]

Great info packed into short time, thank you 👍

I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned Taft

1. Nicks ( Best boots I've ever owned. Their lasts, quality control, and durability are second to none amongst the PNW brands).

2. Red Wing ( For the money? You can't beat them. Their styles are awesome. Their Heritage line has great build quality and aesthetics. Plus they are a well built durable boot)

3. JK Boots ( From the high value 300/300X line is an amazing value. Their O.T. Boots are the perfect combo of a durable, rugged work boot, and a light, easy to wear, comfortable casual boot).

4. White's ( The cool factor for this brand is just amazing. Very classic, robustly built, and they are more comfortable than most of the PNW brands)

5. Wolverine ( They make a good little cheap work boot. And the 1000 Mile Boot is iconic).

6. Thorogood (Good build quality, nice style, and their Moc Toes might be the most comfortable boots you can buy).

7. Grant Stone ( For the money you won't find a classier, more high quality boot. Love their materials and their design choices).

I got the Tecovas Dean roper boot not too long ago at their Waco location and they are the most comfortable shoe I think I’ve ever worn 🇸🇴🇵🇱
